 * Hello - I'm truly sorry and I apologize. My attempt was to update information (especially calendar and event related material) which had been seriously out of date, including those events related but not limited to activities with which I was involved within organizations and groups in which I have an active role as a member or officer. I was not intentionally attempting to self-promote and will endeavor to avoid such apparent conflicts if reinstated. I believe deeply in Wikipedia's mission and have no desire or intent to violate its terms and conditions of participation. Thank you for your consideration. ~EC Comic Art Collector EC Comic Art Collector (talk) 16:41, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi! Please use this format: to request your unblock and explain what type of edits you would perform if unblocked.  Star   Mississippi  17:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

I have rearranged the order of the items on this page (putting the block notice before the unblock request) for clarity. I invite Star Mississippi as the blocking administrator to comment on the unblock request. Newyorkbrad (talk) 01:48, 12 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks ! I'm inclined to accept this unblock request. I would suggest that on articles for which you have a personal or professional connection you should make use of the WP:Edit request feature for items that aren't a factual change. Would this work for you? One thing too to keep in mind is while we should make updates, we don't necessarily need a comprehensive list of exhibits as it wouldn't necessarily be encyclopedic.  Star   Mississippi  01:31, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. As a newbie, I wasn't aware of the WP:Edit request feature. In the comics and comic art field, I'm acknowledged for my expertise on history and attribution. I try to correct errors when I find them, most often through social media, though I find Wikipedia to be a far better resource. Often on comics-related pages, I find information for which updates sometimes are a decade old. I will limit my participation going forward in any case so as not to promote topics or activities with which I am involved. I will use the WP:Edit request feature when there is any uncertainty. Thanks, @Star Mississippi and @Newyorkbrad EC Comic Art Collector (talk) 15:31, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
 * EC Comic Art Collector, can you promise to abide not just with our guidelines for editors with a COI, but also with our guidelines for proper, reliable, secondary sourcing? See WP:RS. Drmies (talk) 15:33, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. I'll take a deeper dive into understanding policies and protocols so that I can avoid any conflicts. I know that I need to understand better the appropriate ways for secondary source citing in particular. Thank you again. EC Comic Art Collector (talk) 15:39, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
